Elton John has signed this "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirty Cowboy" album cover in blue paint pen. "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" is the ninth studio album by Elton John. The album is an autobiographical account of the early musical careers of Elton John (Captain Fantastic) and his long-term lyricist Bernie Taupin (the Brown Dirt Cowboy). It was released in May 1975 by MCA in America and DJM in the UK and was an instant commercial success. The album reached number 1 in its first week of release on the US Billboard 200, the first ever album to do so, reportedly selling 1.4 million copies within 4 days of release, and it stayed in that position in the chart for seven weeks. In 2003, the album was ranked number 158 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list. Good condition. Comes with a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Certificate of Authenticity and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
